ADAM F. RAUSCHER, for many years engaged in general farming in Jefferson County,
but now living retired in Lockridge, was born in Koenigabach, Amt Durlach, grand
duchy of Baden, Germany, on July 4, 1842. MR. RAUSCHER is proud of the little
Baden village in which he first saw the light and wants his children to always
keep in kind regard the place wherefrom the family sprung, and which was the
boyhood home of their father. His parents were ADAM F. and SALME (FRANTZ)
RAUSCHER, also natives of the fatherland. ADAM F. RAUSCHER, who was a stone
mason, together with his wife and family emigrated to the U. S. in 1854,
arriving here in the month of April. He located in Pennsylvania, where he
followed his trade until October of that year when he removed to Ohio. The
family resided in the Buckeye state until 1857, when they again started
westward, Iowa being their destination. They settled in Story County…. Necessity
compelled him to again change his location, so he and his family went to Des
Moines, where he found plenty of work at his trade. In the spring of 1860 they
came to Jefferson County. By 1865 he had accumulated sufficient capital to
enable him to buy a farm on what is now known as “Four Corners,” Lockridge
Township.
He passed away at the home of a daughter in Fairfield 19 December 1898; the
mother’s death had occurred previously, in May, 1893.
